T' 



'he Central Vermont 
Railway Company 
publishes this little pam- 
phlet each season in order 
to give information to 
Summer Excursionists and 
others, who desire up-to- 
date information in regard 
~ ~ to the many families who 

entertain city people at their hospitable homes during the sum- 
mer months; also to give full information concerning summer 
hotels among the Green Hills and on the shores and islands of 
Lake Champlain and the numerous other charming lakes in 
Vermont, located on and adjacent to the Central Vermont 
Railway. Vermont and Lake Champlain are unsurpassed by 
any locality in the Union for scenic beauty and healthfulness. 

Family Homes in the Country for Entertainment 
of Summer Boarders. 

The selected list, given elsewhere, of names of families 
who advertise for city boarders is comprised almost entirely of 
those who have taken city people for the past twelve years; 
their summer boarders returning year after year, causing an 
enlargement of house capacity and the building of new cottages. 

A large number of illustrations of the homes for city guests 
are shown throughout the book. The owners are all well-to-do 
people, own their own farms and take city boarders more for the

enjoyment of it than for 
the revenue they receive 
out of it. 

The homes of these 
Vermont people are the 
homes of a forceful^ 
wide awake and edu- 
cated population, that 
read the daily New York 
and Boston papers, take 
the magazines, and buy 
the best books of the 
day. For those desir- 
ing a quiet country va- 
cation, the selection of- 
fered them in this book 
can not be excelled. 
These homes are de- 
lightful places for child- 
ren, where they can 
play, see the poultry, 
cattle, and ride the old horse if desired. All the places adver- 
tised have plenty of milk, cream, butter and eggs. The coun- 
try is richly productive and the summer fare of fruit, vegetables, 
eggs and poultry is perfect. 

With the comfort and attractions offered at prices from 
$5.00 per week and upwards, no other State equals Vermont. 
At many places free use of the horses and carriages, also boats 
is allowed. A vacation spent at one of these comfortable Ver- 
mont Homes, located on a mountain side, or in a beautiful 
valley among the Green 
Hills, or on the shores 
of one of her many charm- 
ing rivers or lakes will 
be a fulfillment of your 
every desire as to an 
ideal summer outing in the 
country.

In considering the claims of any particular locality as a 
place to spend your vacation, matters of most importance are 
healthfulness, natural attractions, quality of entertainment af- 
forded and expense. Vermont, Lake Champlain and the 
Adirondacks offer you more natural attractions than any other 
section in the east. This is the enthusiastic verdict of thousands 
from all parts of the country, who, in increasing numbers each 
year, testify to the hospitality and attractions of this region. 




Vermont's Green Hills. 

With their swelling breasts of verdure, rivers and lakes 
abounding with charming views, excellent fishing and hunting,

THE MISSISQUQI VALLEY. 




I HE extreme northwest portion of the 
* main land of Vermont is occupied by 
Franklin Comity. In the fertility of its 
soil, the variety and quality of its produc- 
tions, and the thrift and intelli- 
gence of its inhabitants, it is 
equaled by few, and surpassed by 
none of the other counties. Its 
surface is varied enough to 
form a most pleasing land- 
\ scape, yet contains little waste 
' land. The eastern part of 
,, the territory is broken and 
rocky, extending up on the 
western range of the Green 
^Mountains, while the western part is comparatively level, and 
contains some of the finest farming lands to be found in New 
England. The county is especially noted for its fine cattle, 
horses and sheep, and for its large production of butter and 
cheese. Probably, in the last respect, no portion of the United 
States has a more enviable and more firmly established reputa- 
tion than this county. In all the leading markets, Franklin 
County butter stands easily in the lead, the scrus parcil, a 
little more " gilt edge " than any of its competitors. 

Numerous streams are distribtited over the surface of this 
county, while the Missisquoi and Lamoille rivers form the prin- 
cipal water courses of the territory. There are several inland 
lakes, or ponds, of which Franklin pond, in Franklin, is the 
largest. These bodies of water with Lake Champlain on the 
west, give a pleasing variety to the scenery, and afiford most in- 
viting and ample opportunity for fishing. In all directions, as 
one travels through this county, there can be seen, pleasantly 
situated, commodious and attractive farm houses, with their

neat outbuildings, in the midst of green meadows, and well- 
tilled fields. A stay in one of these homes is a pleasure, indeed, 
and when once experienced leaves a longing for a repetition. 
Indeed, the whole 
county possessing 
wonderfully pleas- 
ing scenery in it- 
self, surrounded by 
the most charming 
beauties of nature, 
and containing su- 
perior advantages 
and facilities for 
water and railway 
transportation, is, 
all in all, a most 
desirable home for 
every true seeker of genuine rest and recreation. 

The Missisquoi Valley possesses many attractions for the 
sportsman. The country lying along the banks of the Missis- 
quoi river (an Indian name signifying an abundance of water 
fowl) is charmingly pastoral. As intimated by the name, hunt- 
ing and fishing are excellent. The invalid, as well as the 
pleasure seeker, appreciates this region, containing many min- 
eral springs of tested medicinal value. 

This pretty and thriving little village with the 

RICH FORD Missisquoi river in its midst, is situated on the 

Vermont! lines of the Central and Canadian Pacific, within 

eight hours' ride of Boston and tliree of Montreal, 

with four or five trains daily to either point. This prosper-

a town noted for the thrift of its people and the 
products of its fine grazing farms. The surface of 
the township is broken into gentle swells and hills 
rising from the beds of numerous streams, though 
never so abruptly as to hinder the cultivation of the soil. The 
rich alluvial tracts along the rivers and streams are especially 
productive, and in these waters there is abundant attraction for 
the votary of the rod and line.

eastern portion of the town lying entirely upon a spur of the 
Green Mountains. Portions of the town contain large tracts of 
maple forest from which many thousand pounds of sugar are 
manufactured each year. From this station there are easy 'stage

ST. ALBANS BAY. 



This town borders on the Province of Quebec, and 

is one of the most productive in the county. The 

surface is uneven, though not abrupt, the soil is 

mostly gravelly loam, generally good, and finely 

adapted to grazing, so that many of the inhabitants are engaged 

in dairying and raising grade cattle. Franklin pond, a small 

lake lying near the center of the town, is a lovely sheet of 

water, having a width of about 
one mile and is three miles long. 
In this pond, and the brooks about 
there is excellent fishing- 
Passing through North Sheldon 
the next stop is at. 

which was first settled 
by the Quakers. The 
ostensible attraction 
at this point is the 
medical springs, especially curative 
for cutaneous diseases and malaria. 
But does not Dunton Hill, with its extensive view of Montreal 
and the mountains beyond, the Adirondacks and the Green 
Mountains, the boating, the driving, and all that, help to make 
Sheldon Springs a most attractive resort? 

After leaving this resort, we pass through a rich intervale 
of farming country, and arrive at 

a progressive and rapidly growing city of about 
ST. ALBANS, 9,ooo inhabitants, the magnificent location of 
VERMONT, which, nearly four hundred feet above Lake 
Champlain, insures a cool and healthful climate 
and pure air. 1 1 ranks

Of St. Albans, Henry Ward Beecher, in his " Norwood" wrote 
thus: "The picturesque scener}- of New England reaches a 
climax at St. Albans, a place in the midst of greater variety of 
scenic beauty than any other that I can remember in America. "

the chief attrac-

are the Electric car 
rides to Swanton, 
and St. Albans Bay 
on Lake Cham- 
plain, also charm- 
ing drives through 
the rich surround- 
ing country in all directions. One of the most delightful of 
these is to St. Albans Bay; the broad highway lying in the 
midst of one of the most fertile regions in the State, generally 
sloping down to the silver lake dotted with white winged boats 
and emerald isles. Here abundant facilities for fishing may be 
found, and piscatorial sport at this point, especially angling for 
bass and pike, is a matter of fame among those who love the 
rod and reel, the locality being known to them as the Great 
Back Bay. 

The distance to St. Albans Bay, an arm of the lake, is 
about two and one-half miles from St. Albans. The new Elec- 
tric Street Railway extends to this point, where delightful trips 
may be taken among the beautiful north islands by excursion 
steamers. Those enjoying fishing for the gamey black bass and 
and other Lake Champlain fish can enjoy themselves in the

a prosperous village situated on the Lamoille 
MILTON River. The great falls of the Lamoille are within 

VERMONT, an easy walk from the railway, and are worthy of 
a visit. In running fifty rods, the river falls about 
one hundred and fifty feet. " Near the middle of the cataract 
is a small island upon each side of which the water rushes down 
with the greatest violence, rebounding from rock to rock, toss- 
ing its spray into the air, and stunning the astonished spectator 

by its successive con- 
cussions and inces- 
sant noise." Here are 
located the fine new 
mills, owned by the 
International Paper 
Co., of New York, 
for the manufacture 
of wood pulp. The 
immense steel pen- 
stock, eleven feet in 
diameter, the long 
cable elevator, and 
the four large turbine 
water wheels, are ob- 
jects of interest to 
the visitor. Two hills in the oppo- 
site parts of the town, rising 
abruptly from a comparatively 
level country, are about nine hun- 
dred feet high, and give a marked and pleasing feature to the 
landscape. The surface of the town is diversified, affording 
many fine views of Lake Cham plain and the Adirondacks, and 
is under a high state of cultivation, and its many excellent dairy 
farms are very productive. A drive of about nine miles west 
ward from the railroad station over a fine road and through 
most charming scenery brings one to Camp Watson, upon the 
shore of Lake Champlain.

Returning to Essex Junction, we see on the right Fort

after passing this we ride over the twin bridges across Winooski

seventeen rods wide, the sheer walls rising one hundred feet on 
either bank, and worn into weird forms 
by water and ice. Winooski Falls are 
much visited by tourists, though some-

good farms and substantial buildings. Then it breaks off into 
the mountain, and winds about by easy grades to the summit. 
The ascent can be made in any vehicle with the greatest com- 
fort. The way is thickly wooded with trees indigenous to Ver-

little felt. 

As you near the summit, you catch a glimpse of Lake

The highest point, the Chin, is 4,359 feet above sea level, 
and 3,670 feet above Stowe village, the loftiest peak of Vermont's 
Green Mountains. It gathers around its base all the eternal 
solitudes of nature. In the deep forests, no sound is to be 
heard save the whir of the partridge, the tread of a bear, or the 
crash of a mountain deer as he leaps from crag to gorge. The 
grim solitude of the heights above seems to communicate itself 
to the heights below.

Many features combine to make Northfield a most desirable 
and safe summer resort. The old town itself is quaint, quiet, 
and morally clean. It is beautifully shaded, making the central 
street an elegant boulevard of charming vistas. The hills on 
every side always seem to be changing their color effects and 
perspective. From these hills extensive stretches of scenery in 
the Connecticut valley open up. Few other places in the land 
combine such a variety of peculiar interests and associations as 
this famous old town of Northfield. Here the late D. L. Moody

A writer in Outing thus describes the 
view from the summit of one of the 
mountains near South Londonderry at 
an altitude of nearly 3,000 feet above 
the sea level : 

" If one can imagine himself on the 
top of an immense wave in mid ocean, 
surrounded on all side by the swelling 
forms of storm vexed billows, and if 
these forms could be suddenly con- 
gealed, or rendered motionless, he would 
have an adequate conception of the scene upon which our trio 
admiringly gazed. Away off to the north, the range, upon one 
of the spurs of which we stood, trended away in ever changing 
and varied shapes, until the more distant peaks melted tenderly 
into the cool gray of the clouds, and it became a matter of 
discussion which was vapor and which was solid earth. To the 
east, the undulations were less abrupt, but the eye wandered 
over the contour of the billowy ranges, resting at last upon 

the far distant horizon, _^

the south shore of an 
island bearing the same 
name, and at the base 
of a beautiful eminence 
known as Mount Royal. 
The site of the city was 
first visited by Jacques 
Cartier in 1535. Cham- 
plain also visited it in 
161 1, but the first set- 
tlement was not formed 
until 1642, by M. de 

Maisonneuve. When Canada was conquered by the British in 
1759, Montreal had a population of 4,000 souls. 

Its present population is 300,000. The city is laid in the 
form of a parallelogram. It is built mostly of a grayish lime- 
stone from adjacent quarries, and with its handsome spires, 
glittering tin roofs, and the picturesque vales that stud its lofty 
background is seen to a great advantage from the river. The 
old part of Montreal near the river has narrow, incommodious 
streets, but the new growth of the city toward Mount Royal has 
been liberally laid out with wide, cheerful thoroughfares. The 
architecture here is very fine. 

Among places of interest may be mentioned the Parish 
Church of Notre Dame. The dimensions of this vast Norman 
edifice are 241 feet in length and 135 feet in width. Two main 
towers in front rise 220 feet, the western tower containing a peal 
of bells, one of which weighs upwards of 29,000 pounds and is 
the largest bell in Canada. The seating capacity of the church

by every variety of landscape and un-

will, doubtless, be materially altered in this respect e'er long, as 
visitors to this region are annually numbered by thousands. 

In the valleys between the mountains lie many beautiful 
lakes and ponds, more than one thousand in number. The gen- 
eral level of these lakes is about 1,500 feet above the sea, but 
Avalanche Lake, the highest of them, has nearly twice that 
elevation. Some of them are twenty miles in length, while 
others cover only a few acres. "Steep, densely wooded mount- 
ains," says a writer in Picturesque America, describing the lakes 
"Rise from their margins; beautiful bays indent their borders, 
and leafy points jut out; spring brooks trickle in, while shallows 
are fringed with water grasses and flowering plants, and covered 
sometimes with acres of white and yellow water lillies. The 
lakes are all lovely and romantic in everything except their 
names; and the scenery they offer in combination with the 
towering mountains and the old and savage forests, is not sur- 
passed on earth. In natural features, it greatly resembles 
Switzerland and the Scottish Highlands, as they must have been

before those regions were settled and cultivated." This laby- 
rinth of lakes is connected by a very intricate system of rivers, 
rivulets and brooks.

Little over a mile from the village is Lower Saranac Lake, 
which is six miles long, and in places nearly two miles wide. 
On its shores are several large hotels, and this may be said to 
be one of the most popular pleasure resorts in the forest. The 
lake contains between 40 and 50 small islands, and was called 
by the Indians "Lake of the Clustered Stars." Nine miles east 
from Saranac Lake is the noted Lake Placid.

about two miles wide, and contains three large and 
beautiful islands. Mirror Lake and Lake Placid, though with- 
in a few hundred feet of each other, are not connected. 

From this station there is an excellent carriage 
PAUL road to the old and well known resort "Paul 

SMITH'S 

NEW YORK. Smith's Hotel," about three and one-half miles 
distant, and located on Lower St. Regis Lake. On 
the Lower St. Regis, Spitfire Pond and the Upper St. Regis 
Lake are a number of very costly summer camps owned by 
wealthy visitors of this section. St. Regis Mountain, a short 
distance from Paul Smith's Hotel, is a point of attraction, a 
grand view being had from its summit. The forest may be ex- 
plored for miles from here, and delightful excursions may be 
taken daily through the numerous streams. 

Rainbow Lake station is two miles north of Paul

LAKE CHAMPLAIN, 



ITS ISLANDS AND ADJACENT SHORES. 




T' 



HAT Champlain is one of the most 
beautiful lakes in the world is a 
statement that goes unchallenged. It has 
furnished inspiration for the poet, the 
novelist and the historian; and its charms 
have long been celebrated in song and 
story, and yet the half has not been told. 
It is here that the delight of the traveler, 
of the rest and pleasure seeker, and of the 
lover of nature is supreme, both in antici- 
pation and realization. The lake almost 
completely bounds by its waters, one entire 
county of Vermont, comprising the towns 
of Alburgh, Isle La Motte, North Hero, 
Grand Isle and South Hero. This is the 
smallest county in the State, but by no 
means is it the least in importance, 
is a tongue of land projecting into the lake from 
ALBURGH th^ Province of Quebec. With this exception the 
VERMONT. county is composed of islands, among them being 
Isle La Motte and North Hero, corresponding 
each to the town of the same name; South Hero which com- 
prises the two towns of Grand Isle and South Hero, and is the 
largest island in the lake, and a number of small islands which 
usually belong to the towns nearest to which they lie. The 
towns are very much alike in their main characteristics, and a 
description of one would apply, in general, to the others. 
Though geologically these islands take us back to the time when 
"the earth was without form, and void," they now present to 
the eye as perfect a scene of landscape beauty, of inviting

groves, of rich and cultivated fields, and of neat country homes 
as can be found anywhere. A look into these homes would 
reveal the presence of industry, prosperity and taste, and in 
any one of them the wayfarer or invited guest would find him- 
self among people of marked intelligence and unbounded hos- 
pitality. 

The soil through the country is exceptionally good and pro- 
duces in an abundant measure all the staple crops of this lati- 
tude. As a fruit growing region, for the harder varieties, it is

probably unsurpassed in the United States; and the roads, 
well, — they are simply a marvel to the newcomer — while the 
old resident enjoys them, as a matter of course, pities his neigh- 
bor toiling along through the mud and sand, and leisurely jogs 
along at 2:40 gait. The foundation of these roads was laid 
sometime ago, it is thought in the Lower Silurian Age, and the 
material that has gathered since has been of the best for road- 
making. Repairs are made usually by putting on the road bed 
a liberal coating of the beautiful fine gravel found in abundance

upon the shores. A drive through this country is a matter of 
renown and is taken by hundreds every year. 

For miles the highway is along or near the shore, and the 
succession of beautiful bays, bluff points, bold cliffs and gently 
sloping beaches, together with the ever- varying scene of distant 
hills and mountains, forms a picture beyond the skill of brush 
to paint or tale to tell. The islands are connected with each 
other and with the main land by bridges, so built that, except 
in some cases for the "draws," one might fancy them made by 
the same hand that formed the islands themselves. At different 
points are mineral springs of much fame and worth. In 

is the celebrated Iodine Spring, the water of which 
HERo"^ has proved so beneficial to hundreds in the past. 

VERMONT. Its curative qualities are constantly becoming bet- 
ter known and more highly valued. This spring 
is located in one of the most beautiful regions of all New Eng- 
land; the drives are unsurpassed, the fishing the best, the air 
pure and cool, and the scenery magnificent. This is sure to 
become one of the most popular resorts in the Champlain Val- 
ley. This island has communication every week-day by rail 
and boat with Burlington, and also with Maquam. A common 
and exceedingly satisfactory way to reach the islands is to drive 
from Milton station, or from Burlington by rail. Either route 
is delightful in the extreme, but via Milton you get the drive 
across the famous "Sand Bar Bridge," which is a mile in length 
and crosses the lake at a most charming point. For a mile be- 
fore reaching the bridge, the drive is over what is known as the 
" Whittemore Road. " This road is flanked for the entire dis- 
tance on either side by a thicket of trees extending through 
lowlands which are covered with a luxuriant growth of vegeta- 
tion, and which are becoming celebrated hunting grounds. 

The country, as a whole, is a "rich find" for the geologist, 
and the seacher for fossils will be, especially at the quarries of 
Isle La Motte and at Providence Island, amply rewarded for 
his toil. In the summer, the shores of these islands are thickly 
dotted with camps, and every season cottages are built in de- 
sirable points by men of wealth from cities. Already is being 
rapidly fulfilled a prediction recently made, that in a few years

not an available spot on the shore would be left unoccupied. 
One who has spent one summer on these islands needs no invi- 
tation to come again. All the islands are easily reached by 
steamer or by rail. Lake Champlain is a paradise for those 
who long to fish, hunt, tramp and camp. 

Yachting has become an important feature on the lake, with 
Burlington as its center. The Lake Champlain Yacht Club, 
with headquarters at Burlington, includes in its membership 
some of the most prominent men in Vermont, as well as many 



. \mrEL 




in the larger cities. The club holds, each autumn, an inland re- 
gatta, and owns an elaborate club house costing about $6,000.00, 
in the spacious reception rooms and parlors of which it dis- 
penses its hospitality. 

Following are a few of the most delightful "resorts" on and 
near the shores of Lake Champlain: — 

one of the most beautiful islands of Lake Cham- 
plain reached by stage from Alburgh. The island

roads of Isle La Motte and through the county of Grand Isle 
generally, are among the finest in the world for horses and 
bicycles, and the scenery of mountains (Green and Adirondacks) 
and the lake, is unsurpassed for great variety and beauty. 

also on Missisquoi Bay, where are located the fa-

VERMONT, thousands throughout the country testify. On the 

opposite shore, a little to the south, are the de- 
lightful camping grounds of A. Niles, where individuals or fam- 
ilies, with their own outfit, can enjoy the luxuries of a summer 
home at a moderate expense. These grounds are one-half mile 
from railroad station, one mile from post-office and store, and 
in the region of superb fishing.

MAQUAM resort, this place offers superior advantages. 

VERMONT Maquam Bay is on the east shore of Lake Cham- 
plain, at the terminus of St. Johnsbury and Lake 
Champlain road, and is the most northern point, and in the 
region of the famous bass fishing grounds, two miles west of 
S wanton station. 

About five miles south of Maquam Bay is 

Samson's Lake View House, off which are the 
SAMSON'S, richest of the fishing waters of the lake. As there 
is nothing so good as facts with which to prove 
the quality of a place, especially in the matter of fishing; ad- 
dress Samson's Lake View House, Vermont, for facts as to its 
being a fishing and health resort. Ladies, as well as gentle- 
men, spend the entire season at Samson's.

none intrudes," where one may be as much alone with the uni- 
verse as on a desert isle, yet an hour's tramp will bring him to 
a postoffice, fresh meat, milk, eggs, etc. This paradoxical posi- 
tion of proximity and distance is puzzling to strangers, but 
highly prized by the experienced. 

That true sportsman, W. H. H. Murray, in his book " Lake 
Champlain and Its Shores," which all should read says: 

" Having seen most of the localities of the continent noted 
for their beauty, I can declare that I know of no other spot, 
which for loveliness of appearance, majesty of scenery and 
varied resources of entertainment can compare with Lake Cham- 
plain. Nature has signalized, and history has emphasized it 
with such charms and attractions that it challenges the attention 
and invites the presence of all who love the one or are impressed 
by the other. 

"To the yachtsman it affords opportunities and pleasure, 
navigation and amateur seamanship, as ample as sound or ocean 
coast supply; while to the canoeist and campist it e.ctends, in its 
bays and rivers, its islands and shores, its golden beaches and 
bold promontories, ideal conditions of recreation and enjoyment 
and the health that comes to those who love outdoor lifeand 
world. 

" You who long for health, peace and the new vigor which 
comes from restful days and quiet nights, filled with sweet 
sleep, which knits up the ravelled sleeve of care, should come to 
Lake Champlain to spend the summer. You who love the 
water, send your boats and yachts, or build them here, and I 
will warrant you such pleasant and spirited yachting as is rarely 
found. You who love tent and social camp-fire, verily is there 
room here for an army of tents, and yet one shall not see the 
other; you who need the rest and health found in pure, cool 
mountain air, come to the base of these hills, amid whose tops 
God generates the ozone of life, and floating on the level of the 
water breathe its vigor in."
